Chapter 207: Chapter 186 Lan Ci Dies, Dividing the Spoils_2

The Fire Crab Bomb, on which Lan Ci had pinned great hopes, was easily bisected by Chen Qing.

The bomb was about to be swept away by the Meat Sea, but its movement was halted by the black blade.

"Don’t eat it, it’s still useful."

Picking up the Fire Crab Bomb with the blade, Chen Qing stored them in her space and quickly caught up with Lan Ci.

Taking advantage of the explosion’s cover, Lan Ci made his escape on a flying machine.

Once he regrouped with Blue Jade Green Yin, he was determined to make up for today’s defeat!

However, Lan Ci had forgotten one thing, Chen Qing was not alone today.

"Miao Miao."

Chen Cheng stood on a large stone, supporting her head with her hand as she gazed out, her face breaking into a radiant smile.

Compared to the other children at the orphanage, Chen Cheng did indeed smile a lot.

The others seldom showed any expression.

"Hmm."

Chen Miao nodded and, seemingly out of nowhere, produced a rocket launcher aimed at Lan Ci in the sky.

Lan Ci’s flying machine had not yet left the airspace of Rust Island when it was struck down in an instant!

The sky burst with a not-so-pretty black and red firework, and the bird-like flying machine plunged like a kite with its string cut.

Even without Chen Miao’s intervention, Lan Ci could not have escaped.

Beyond Rust Island, the Wind Shadow Jade and the Extraordinary Mechanical Ship were waiting for him.

The seabird flying machine crashed hard into the commercial district, and Lan Ci clambered out of it in a sorry state.

He wanted to flee but was halted by the sight of a pair of dark boots entering his vision.

Lan Ci didn’t even have time to look up before Black Blade had plunged into his chest, blood spurting out like a fountain, a flicker of unwillingness flashing in his eyes.

With his head severed, Lan Ci’s body twitched twice in a final struggle, then lay motionless on the ground as life gradually ebbed away.

Lan Ci was dead, and the remaining people of the Rose Family had no strength left to resist.

"What a pity."

Chen Qing glanced at Lan Ci’s corpse before shifting her gaze away.

What she regretted was the Deep Blue Guardian of the Mechanical Ship, which activated such a powerful move only to block a single shot.

There was always a sense of loss.

Honestly, Chen Qing never felt this poor in her previous world.

Although not very wealthy before, Chen Qing didn’t get sick, wasn’t extravagant, and had few desires; aside from the occasional loss of money, she had no other expenses.

Now, despite having extensive assets, Chen Qing felt much poorer than before, often either in debt or on the verge of it.

She had even started to calculate costs, something she never did before.

Of course, trading her life for the Deep Sea Guardian was undoubtedly worth it.

Only, the power of the Dragon Scale Fire Gun, though great, did not necessitate the use of a skill of the Deep Sea Guardian’s level.

It’s just that Chen Qing lacked more suitable defensive equipment.

For the current Chen Qing, the strength of the Super Shield Whale and the Blast Battle Rabbit was insufficient.

She either had to replace them or upgrade them both.

The gap in Extraordinary Points was too large.

The Extraordinary Points gained from the battle at Rust Island, combined with what Chen Qing had left, were still less than eight hundred.

After collecting the space items and the Dragon Scale Fire Gun from Lan Ci, Chen Qing threw his corpse to the Meat Sea.

Following the activation of the Deep Sea Guardian, the energy value accumulated by the Mechanical Ship on Rust Island was now only 725 points.

Triggering a Deep Sea Guardian skill requires a minimum base of 10,000 energy points, the same standard as the Doomsday Judgment and space traversal.

The difference between the 10,000 energy point version of Doomsday Judgment and the 100,000 energy point version is significant, not to mention potential million and ten-million point variants.

If Chen Qing could accumulate that many energy points, the display would certainly be staggering.

For now, the damaged machines of the Green Rose Guards should still be able to provide the Mechanical Ship with an additional hundred and eighty or so energy points.

After several rounds of battles, almost no buildings were left intact on Rust Island, except for the semi-ruined castle of the Rose Family.

"Where are Chen Sen and Chen Miao?"

Having dealt with Lan Ci, Chen Qing returned to Rose Castle.

Chen Cheng and Chen Lin were still in the same place, but Chen Sen and Chen Miao were missing.

"They went off to deal with the rest."

Chen Cheng smiled obediently, while the others looked a bit guilty.

The rest were all at the Pukui Mountain munitions factory.

Chen Qing gave Chen Cheng a nonchalant look, and without a blush or a skip in her heartbeat, Chen Cheng didn’t feel the slightest shame but instead stared back with big, innocent, watery eyes.
